Jigging on Moosehead??
« on: Feb 15, 2010, 06:34 PM »
Headed up to Moosehead Lake in a few days to go ice fishing. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas for jigging? How far below the ice? Lures? Close to shore or out deep? Thanks!!

Also, what's everyone having good luck with for bait lately? Smelts? Shiners? Both?  :tipup:

I have a Shack Off Sugar Isalnd in Lilly Bay and the Togue fishing is fast with Smelts but most everything seems to be small!
